For Every Writer, In Every Genre,
Trai Knows Why:

• Theme is the most essential building block in storytelling.
  
  
• Every writer pens the same story over and over again -- and why it's a good thing!
  
  
• Mastering the Rules of World Building empowers every choice you make as a storyteller.
  
  
• Employing the 15 Elements found in every great movie can better EVERY story.
  
  
• Some ideas stick and some ideas fail -- and how to tell the difference.
  
  
• Being a reader and audience member makes you an intuitively powerful storyteller -- and how to unlock that knowledge.
  
  
• Marketing & Business Development are as important to the modern writer as your stories -- here's how not to get Biz Blocked!
  
  

For the Aspiring Screenwriter,
Trai teaches:

• Screenwriting Formatting is not only a piece of cake, it's a blast.
  
  
• Screenwriting is the ideal way to learn character deverlopment, arcs and story structure -- and how they are intrisictly tied together.
  
  
• Movies are made of circles and mirrors, and how they can supercharge your story.
  
  
• All of the film industries secrets about breaking in. Hollywood is only a phone call away!
